PC Gamer magazine has kindly posted their recent playtest of Left 4 Dead on their website. (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=162964&site=pcg) It has more detail than past previews and talks about the infected bosses.
"The most terrifying of these bosses is the Hunter - not to be confused with Episode Two's robo-alien. He's just a guy in a black hoody, except that he can leap 60 feet in a second. If you turn your back on him for a moment - and it's hard not to given that he's invisible until you shine your flashlight directly at him - he can jump at you with a howl that makes your blood run cold, and you're utterly helpless as he scratches at your face. I physically flinched every time this happened to me. "So you jumped, in a room full of people with the lights on," mocked writer Chet Faliszek. "We play this at home now, and when that happens..." He trailed off ominously."
It's definitely worth the read. Tom Francis does a great job explaining the thrill and excitement that Left 4 Dead offers up. They have also included 4 new high resolution screenshots of some zombies, Zoey, and the Boomer. Go read it. (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=162964&site=pcg)
